Booking Through Thursday

What’s your favorite book that nobody else has heard of? You know, not Little Women or Huckleberry Finn, not the latest best-seller . . . whether they’ve read them or not, everybody “knows” those books. I’m talking about the best book that, when you tell people that you love it, they go, “Huh? Never heard of it?”

The Sanity Matinee by Michael ZagstThis is a well written, clever and sad novel about a young insurance salesman named Al Sprayberry. I have read this novel again and again and I always enjoy the comic wit of the author. I have also felt compassion for poor Al and his unlikely marriage, suburban life and boring job. How do you recommend this for someone to read when you bought it at a library sale back in 1990?

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are… Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.
